The kitchen set is considered one of the simple types hand-assembled furniture for inexperienced craftsmen.
Furnishings for a relaxation room and hall, as a rule, require a professional approach and the use of extraordinary materials.
Today we’ll talk about how to assemble furniture with your own hands.
The use of laminated chipboard as the main building material
Today, natural wood in its pure form is almost impossible to find in the environment. After all, sets made from natural wood are considered expensive and quite elite pieces of furniture. Therefore, the array is replaced with an affordable material such as chipboard.
In most cases, the thickness of these plates reaches 16 mm. Sheets of greater thickness are also sold. The material is cut on machines.
You can do the work at home using an electric jigsaw, but unevenness and chips cannot be avoided. After all, it is almost impossible to saw off laminated chipboard evenly at home with a jigsaw.
Edges
One of weak points This material is considered to be cut, since it is through it that moisture passes inside most easily. In this regard, due to poor quality protection, swelling of the ends is possible. Therefore, it is preferable to cover the ends with edges, as in the photo of the furniture you made yourself below.
On modern market There are several types of edges:
- Melamine. This is the most affordable edge of excellent quality. You can glue it yourself using a regular iron.
- PVC is excellent choice edges. Its gluing is only possible on the machine.
- ABS edge resembling PVC edge, but only created from natural material.
Facades
The façade and doors of furnishings, including DIY garden furniture, are made from the best quality material.
The facade is considered a separate piece of furniture and, as a rule, is made to order.
In the case when the facades have unusual shapes, they can be produced over an extended period of time.
Types of facades
Since the main function of the facade is decorative, it is accordingly offered in a wide variety. The façade differs in material, as well as in appearance.
Laminated MDF is a pressed and fairly moisture-resistant material. Usually the surface is treated like a natural array.
However, even the most durable film will crack and peel off after a certain period of time. The main advantage of this material is its affordable cost and speed of production.
In addition to blind-type facades, there are options for a figured look like stained glass. The glass part is fixed to a special plate.
Wooden facades will appeal to fans of natural materials, but their cost is quite high. In addition, environmental friendliness is also controversial.
Pay attention!
Painted façade to look like enamel. It has a significant disadvantage - chips and deformations often appear on the surface.
It was once exploited because of its attractive, catchy shade, but with the advent of shiny plastic, everything changed radically.
Glass facades made from aluminum are suitable for kitchen spaces in high-tech style. They look fashionable, but are quite problematic to manufacture and install. Unusual fittings are used for fastening.
Boxes
There are many methods for making cabinet boxes, as well as DIY pallet furniture. One of the simplest is considered to be assembly around the perimeter using laminated chipboard.
If it is necessary to create an original facade, it must be screwed onto the frame main part from the inside.
In addition, the facade is often attached to eccentrics in the form of one of the walls of the box. In this case, the main task is not to assemble the necessary box, but to secure it correctly.
Pay attention!
Doors
There are built-in wardrobes and free-standing ones. Internal filling is at the discretion of the owner; it is possible to carry out restoration of furniture with your own hands.
The main element of each cabinet is sliding type door leaf. It is not recommended to save on this part; it is important to purchase good quality fittings.
Basically, the closet is equipped with several doors, consisting of a frame into which decorative elements are inserted. Door leaves can be assembled from several materials separated by an aluminum profile.
The movement of the canvases is carried out along special guides, which are installed with your own hands, just as you create furniture from cardboard yourself.
Conclusion
If you approach the issue of creating and installing pieces of furniture with all responsibility, then the furnishings will be not only of high quality, but also affordable, distinguished by exclusivity and specialness.

Decorative colorful bottles with salt for the kitchen
Description of the craft
If you have several clear glass bottles beautiful shape, then it’s time to fill them with salt painted in different colors. There can be one or several containers. Everyone knows the idea of decorating bottles and jars by filling them with cereals and other products. We believe that colored patterns made from colored salt will look much more impressive and mysterious. They are not difficult to create with some knowledge. First you need to color it in a spectrum beautiful flowers several servings of salt. To achieve this, you can use food coloring, crayons or gouache paint. So, we need:
- extra grade salt - this type of salt is distinguished by its smallest fractions;
- food coloring, crayons or suitable paints beautiful flowers;
- brush or small spatula;
- ribbons or strands of twine;
- bottles or jars of interesting shapes;
- lids or stoppers for containers.
Bottle preparation
To properly prepare glass or other transparent containers, they will have to be thoroughly washed, boiled and thoroughly dried. Otherwise, if this step is neglected, the contents will collect in lumps due to the natural swelling of the crystals. Use an oven to dry and sterilize the bottle.
Salt coloring
To give the salt a uniform and rich color, you can use plastic containers or boxes. Each color is created in a separate container. All you need to do is combine the salt with paint or crushed crayons and mix well to ensure a uniform consistency. It is possible that the salt will stick together into lumps; to correct the situation, you need to knead them, mixing the entire mass. It usually takes about a day for the salt to dry completely. You can speed up this process by placing the material on a baking sheet and putting it in the oven for a while.
Creating a composition
After dyeing and drying, salt must be poured into bottles in a special way. A funnel works well for this purpose. The order of colors is developed by the owner independently; you will have to use your imagination. To avoid mixing colors, a brush is used; it needs to distribute each tier. A slow pace of adding salt is the most optimal, since speed is not needed here, it can cause blurring of the boundaries between colors, this defect cannot be neutralized. We recommend tilting the container in order to upper limit each pattern was not straight, but located beautifully at an angle. If you perfect your skill and practice more, you can learn to create real paintings using salt and bottles. Professionals use sand for this purpose, but our option is not inferior to this idea. When the composition is ready, you need to screw the lid or insert a stopper, make a winding of ribbons or twine. The result is a unique decor.

When sewing around the perimeter of the squares, you should leave a gap for inserting elastic. By stretching the elastic band along the edges of the cover, you will be able to see how characteristic folds form at the bottom of the seat. If you sew lace around the edges, you will get a delicate, attractive decor for the kitchen. The cover can be of any shape, at the discretion of the home owners.
